Information and Communication technology (ICT) networks differ from IT networks because they mingle data assets with assets such as voice, entertainment, media, physical security, and more. IP convergence represents both a new business imperative and a fundamentally new security paradigm. The ongoing shift in market terminology from IT to ICT indicates the conclusive acceleration of IP convergence. Securing Converged IP Networks explores this adoption of ICT terminology by large organizations and introduces ICT security as an independent concept. This book attempts to facilitate the start of a larger discussion that centers around how ICT impacts the field of technology security and assurance.
